Orlando ranked near the top of the list as one of the best places for a person to have a side hustle.

LLC.org conducted a study analyzing key factors across 170 cities in America for the best place to make extra income.

Orlando ranks 30th when factoring in affordability and accessibility for side hustles.

The study used eight equally-weighted measures in categories like affordability, flexibility and the current economic environment.

For affordability, side hustles only need $125 for an LLC filing fee, with the additional benefit of not having a state income tax, according to the study.

Regarding flexibility, 19.1% of workers in the area are remote, while the daily commute for residents clocks in at almost 39 hours.

As for the current economic environment, the city’s unemployment rate is only 2.8%, the lowest of all cities on the list.

Another Florida city, Tampa, also made the list at number 11. There are a couple of advantages it has over Orlando.

For starters, 25% of the workforce works from home, the city’s unemployment rate is lower and more people have broadband internet.

Salt Lake City, UT; Gilbert, AZ; Scottsdale, AZ; Madison, WI and Chandler, AZ are ranked first through fifth, respectively.
